Ballmer Wants Sony Pictures on Xbox 360
Microsoft CEO has stated that both the Bing search engine and Kinect-compatible 'voice Bing' will be on the Xbox 360 by Xmas this year. He's also looking to bring new movies-on-demand including Sony's Crackle streaming service to the console in the not too distant future.

"We all know the frustrations of using guides and menus and controllers, and we think a better way to do all of this is simply to bring Bing and voice to Xbox,” the CEO told investors earlier this month.

Bloomberg is also reporting that "Microsoft also expects to sign deals with Time Warner Inc. (TWX)’s HBO cable channel, Sony Pictures Entertainment’s Crackle streaming service, NBC Universal’s Bravo and Syfy channels and Lovefilm UK".
